    Was it wise to leave Kimmi on Hard compound tyres when the rain started? Im sure that all teamshad the same weather information , but adrenolin and staying in front of Hamilton seemed to infuence the discission. After a tyre stop with six laps to go Kimmi would have had an advantage of approx 20 seconds per lap. Some one do the maths and let me know what you come up with.

    Actually, the rain started around lap 42 -- two laps to go. And catching is one thing, passing is another.

    With perfect 20-20 hindsight, maybe they should have done the hard stint in the middle. Then they'd have been on the options at the end, and better able to handle the cooler tires. The "primes" were harder than either of the tires Bstone used last year. Slippery when cold?
